Do you struggle with questions like "What is your favorite food?"?

I have always struggled with this type of question, and most people I have spoken with have not struggled with this. The only response I have to a question like that is to name a food I like and that I am currently craving. My favorite food is the food that best fulfills my hunger and cravings that exist right now. Or I could attempt to go through my memory and run some calculations to determine which food I crave the most often? Is that what is meant by the question? Is it a statistical question?

Lately my son has been throwing tons of “What is your favorite…” questions at me, and I find that I’m unable to answer any of them.

- What is your favorite color? Favorite color what – and in what context?
– What is your favorite song? “Favorite”? I suppose the only answer I could give would be a song that I currently would like to hear. Or maybe I could go back and discover how many times I have played a song. But this wouldn’t necessarily say anything about my enjoyment of the song. It very well could be that I listen and enjoy song A when I am in a particular mood. But when I am in a different mood and really need a song, song B could be more effective and important to me.

I’ll admit that I am likely over-thinking this, but I’m now getting these questions from my son, and I am realizing that I have had a difficult time with these questions for nearly 40 years.

How do you approach questions like this (or do you)?
